Once cooled, remove from pan and serve with ultimate icing (see below). This cake is best served fresh.

Serves: 10 – 12

Ultimate Icing:

This recipe will make extra which can be stored in fridge for up to 3 weeks. Making less quantity is difficult unless you are using a mini food processor. It is a very versatile recipe and can also be made with added berries or cocoa powder.

Icing ingredients:

2 cups chopped dried pitted dates

1/3 cup coconut oil

2 Tb lemon juice

1 tsp cinnamon or vanilla extract

Icing directions:

1. Soak dates in warm water for at least 2 hours , drain and reserve soak water.
2. Melt coconut oil (being careful to not overheat).
3. Add all contents in food processor with 1/4 cup of date soak water (and more if needed).
4. Blend for at least 2 minutes, occasionally scraping down sides.
5. Once creamy, spread icing onto cooled cake or serve on the side. The dates contain pectin and will congeal after some time and the coconut. oil will also help it set as it cools to room temperature.
